Background
To achieve higher data rates, conventional multi-user multiple-input single-output (MU-MIMO) systems have been extended to multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. However, since multiple users in the MU-MIMO system share the same time and frequency resources, multi-user co-channel interference (CCI) is inevitably introduced, which affects reliable data reception.
To eliminate CCI, the base station needs to first obtain Channel State Information (CSI) reflecting the channel characteristics, for example, to acquire a channel transmission matrix through channel estimation. And then according to the channel state information, selecting a proper linear precoding matrix to carry out linear precoding for eliminating CCI on the transmitting signals, and then sending the transmitting signals to a receiving end.
The BD precoding algorithm is a precoding algorithm widely used in the MU-MIMO system at present, and the main idea of the algorithm comprises the following steps: (1) base station obtains downlink channel matrix H of each user
kWhere K is the user index, K is 1, 2, …, and K is the number of users served by the system base station in the same frequency band simultaneously. In a Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode, a base station can acquire a channel matrix estimated by a user through channel reciprocity; in Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) mode, the base station can know the channel matrix from the base station to the user through the feedback of the terminal. (2) Determining an interference channel matrix of any user k according to the obtained downlink channel matrix
And calculating an interference channel matrix of an arbitrary user k
By zero-space orthogonal basis, i.e. finding the channel matrix with interference
The column vectors in (1) are orthogonal vectors. (3) And constructing a precoding matrix of each user according to the calculated zero-space orthogonal basis of the interference channel matrix of each user.
Then, the constructed linear precoding matrix can be used to perform linear precoding processing on the transmission signals of each user. The specific way of performing linear precoding processing may be: and multiplying the linear precoding matrix corresponding to any user by the transmitting signal of the user, and then transmitting the result through a transmitting antenna.
Two conventional BD precoding methods are described below, taking a specific system environment as an example.
Suppose that in a multi-user MIMO system, a base station of a cell has N
tA plurality of transmitting antennas, wherein the number of receiving antennas of any user K (K is 1, 2, …, K) is n
kAnd K is the number of users served simultaneously by the base station using the same frequency band. The total number of receiving antennas on K user terminals is
And, the total number of transmitting antennas N of the base station
TGreater than or equal to the total number of receiving antennas N of the user terminal
R。
The method comprises the following steps: conventional BD pre-coding methods. The method comprises the following steps:
step 1, the base station obtains the downlink channel matrix H of each userk,k(k=1,2,…,K)。
Step 2, determining an interference channel matrix of any user k according to the acquired downlink channel matrix

step 5.
Step 4, utilizing

And the downlink channel matrix H of user k
kConstructing an equivalent channel matrix for user k with completely eliminated CCI (i.e., zero CCI):
step 5, in order to obtain the maximum pre-coding gain of the equivalent channel matrix with zero CCI, the equivalent channel matrix is again subjected to SVD
And constructing a precoding matrix of each user according to the decomposition result as follows:

In the method, the interference channel matrix of any user k is obtained
When the zero space orthogonal basis is obtained, the matrix is transmitted through the interference channel
The SVD decomposition is performed (as shown in step 3), but the computation complexity of the SVD decomposition itself is large, thus resulting in linear pre-coding of the signal at the transmitting endThe code complexity is increased and the linear precoding efficiency is low.
The
method 2 comprises the following steps: and (3) a BD pre-coding algorithm based on QR decomposition. Compared with the method 1, the method is different in that: interference channel matrix of any user k is obtained
Using QR decomposition instead of SVD decomposition, i.e. the method in
step 3, the interference channel matrix for any user k
Performing QR decomposition
To obtain
Zero space orthogonal basis of
Then, according to the calculated zero-space orthogonal basis of the interference channel matrix of each user, the process of constructing the precoding matrix of each user can be the same as that of the method 1.
In the method 2, although QR decomposition is used for replacing SVD decomposition, the algorithm complexity is reduced; but because it needs to perform QR decomposition once for the interference channel matrix of each user, the complexity is still high, so that the linear precoding efficiency is still low.
Therefore, the BD precoding method in the prior art has high computational complexity, so that the linear precoding efficiency is low when the CCI is eliminated by using the BD precoding algorithm.

The BD pre-coding method and apparatus in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. The technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention can be used for the condition that the number of the receiving antennas of the user is the same as the number of the data streams communicated by the user, and can also be used for the condition that the number of the receiving antennas of the user is different from the number of the data streams communicated by the user. For different situations, the receiving end only needs to perform the combining processing of the receiving antennas. Common techniques for processing the receiving antenna include antenna selection, mrc (maximum ratio combining), and QBC (equalization-based combining).
In the embodiment of the invention, QR decomposition is carried out only once on the total user channel matrix, and QR decomposition is not required to be carried out on the interference channel matrix of each user, so that the calculation complexity in the precoding process is reduced, and the precoding efficiency is improved.
Furthermore, the invention further reduces the calculation complexity in the precoding process and improves the precoding efficiency by carrying out simplified inversion operation on the lower triangular matrix L of QR decomposition.

As shown in fig. 6, the conventional BD precoding scheme has the highest complexity, and the QR decomposition-based BD precoding scheme has the second highest complexity. Compared with the BD pre-coding scheme in the embodiment of the present invention, the BD pre-coding scheme in the embodiment of the present invention has a performance advantage of significantly reducing complexity. It can be seen that the BD precoding scheme in the embodiments of the present invention has a significant advantage in reducing complexity performance even when the number of users served by the base station is continuously increased.
Fig. 7 is a simulation diagram comparing the capacity performance of the BD pre-coding scheme in the embodiment of the present invention with that of the BD pre-coding scheme in the prior art under different snr conditions. Wherein, the simulation conditions are as follows: the number of base station antennas is 6, the number of antennas of each user is 2, the number of users is 3, and a channel model is modeled into a perfect single-path Rayleigh channel. The signal transmission power of the BS end is 1. As shown in fig. 7, the BD pre-coding scheme in the embodiment of the present invention has the same system capacity performance as the existing BD pre-coding scheme. Therefore, the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention is used for linear precoding processing, thereby reducing the complexity of the system algorithm and simultaneously not causing performance loss to the system.
Therefore, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention can effectively reduce the complexity of the algorithm under the condition of ensuring that the system performance is not lost, which can undoubtedly reduce the complexity of the base station side, particularly the hardware configuration of the user side, and also conforms to the principle of communication system design.
